Djokovic Ties Another Record, Extends Big Titles Lead

Novak Djokovic continues to etch his name in the record books. The Serbian tied Roger Federer's record of six Nitto ATP Finals titles on Sunday in Turin.

trophies at a Grand Slam championship, the Nitto ATP Finals, an ATP Masters 1000 tournament or an Olympic singles gold medal.

Djokovic owns six more 'Big Titles' than any other player in history, with longtime rival Rafael Nadal (59) his closest competitor. Outside of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer (54), no other player holds more than 30 of the prestigious crowns (Pete Sampras, 30).

The Serbian first triumphed at the year-end championships in 2008, when the tournament was called the Tennis Masters Cup. Djokovic has obliterated the record of biggest gap between first and most recent Nitto ATP Finals titles at 14. Before his win Sunday, the previous record belonged to Sampras and Federer, who lifted their first and last season finale trophies eight years apart.

Djokovic triumphed in Turin without losing a set, earning a record $4,740,300 in prize money. He lost just one set en route to the title, claiming victories against Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev, Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz and Ruud.

Djokovic's 'Big Title' win rate holds steady at one trophy for every 3.2 events played (65/209), while Nadal has claimed one 'Big Title' for every 3.5 tournaments he has played (59/207). The only other players who have won a 'Big Title' at a greater rate than once per five events played are Federer (4.4, 54/240) and Pete Sampras (4.9, 30/147).

Kings of clay gallery: Rafael Nadal and the most decorated players on the surface

We all know that Rafael Nadal is the undisputed king of clay with an incredible 62 titles on the surface but who are the other men in the dirtiest hall of fame?

The clay court season is days away and here we look at the 12 men with the most ATP Tour titles on the surface.

Sharing a spot with Moya is one of Ecuador’s favourite sons, Andres Gomez who won the French Open in 1991 and ten other clay court tournaments across his career.

The next bloke you might have heard of.

Nadal and Djokovic are the only current players in the top 12 clay court tournament winners stakes.

Jose Luis Clerc spent much of his career in the shadow of a much more illustrious compatriot but that does not diminish his achievements.

He might not be imparting any clay court wisdom to Andy Murray this year but Ivan Lendl sports an impressive track record on the red stuff.

Clay court tennis has been the platform for some of the great characters of the game to showcase their abilities.

Spanish players have contributed immensely to clay court tennis down the years.

Bjorn Borg is the man Orantes shares fourth place with on this list as it stands.

There have been some truly remarkable clay court specialists down the years.

Before Nadal, the king of clay was an Argentine.

Rafael Nadal is likely to add to his impressive tally of clay court tournament wins before his career ends.

Roger should be placed 3rd because he's had to play more events to get the same number of 'Big' titles. OG should be included. On the basis of the above, on what basis is Roger the GOAT?????  

Nadal_Django

Federer is soo yesterday news at the moment. Lol  

Rafa is the only one who has qualified for the WTF every year since he turned pro. Injury has plagued his success there. Many times he has not even played and even when he's played he has had to pull out with injury.

If Federer had won Olympic Singles Gold, it would have been included.

Here's a list of winners of the Olympic Gold Medal in men's singles: 2016 and 2012: Andy Murray 2008: Rafael Nadal 2004: Nicolas Massu 2000: Yevgeny Kafelnikov 1996: Andre Agassi 1992: Marc Rosset 1988: Miloslav Mecir I am not at all confident that I would rate Massu or Rosset as greater players than Zverev or Dimitrov. Indeed, I am not at all sure that, by the end of their careers, Zverev or Dimitrov will be worse players than Mecir or even possibly Kafelnikov.

Phoenix1983 said: They'll certainly be worse than Kafelnikov. Click to expand...

octogon said: The value of Olympic Singles Gold has gone up considerably in the last 14 years or so, because all the elite players desperately want to win it and say so. Last 3 editions have only been won by the elite. I'd liken it to the increase in prestige and value of the Australian Open, which half the players used to skip. When the top 3 GOAT contenders all scream about how desperately they want the title, it's prestige jumps immensely. It is clearly a big title. Click to expand...

helterskelter said: You're sure that Zverev will be worse than Kafelnikov? I agree that it is likely but not that it is certain. I know that Zverev's results in majors continue to be deeply disappointing, but here's an overall comparison, and bear in mind that Zverev isn't yet 22 and a half (although he is 22.75 in Slam years). 1. Slam titles: Kafelnikov 2-0 Zverev 2. Slam finals: Kafelnikov 3-0 Zverev 3. Slam semi-finals: Kafelnikov 6-0 Zverev 4. Slam quarter-finals: Kafelnikov 13-2 Zverev Conclusion: Yes, most likely Kafelnikov better here. 5. Olympic + WTF titles (treating them as equally important, given that that's what is at stake in this thread): Kafelnikov 1-1 Zverev 6. Olympic + WTF finals: Kafelnikov 2-1 Zverev 7. Masters Series titles: Kafelnikov 0-3 Zverev 8. Masters Series finals: Kafelnikov 5-5 Zverev 9. Overall titles: Kafelnikov 26-11 Zverev 10. Overall finals: Kafelnikov 46-17 Zverev 11. Rankings achievements: a. Highest ranking: Kafelnikov 1-3 Zverev b. Highest year-end ranking: Kafelnikov 2-4 Zverev c. Year-end finishes in top 2: Kafelnikov 1-0 Zverev d. Year-end finishes in top 3: Kafelnikov 2-0 Zverev e. Year-end finishes in top 4: Kafelnikov 3-2 Zverev f. Year-end finishes in top 5: Kafelnikov 5-2 Zverev g. Year-end finishes in top 10: Kafelnikov 6-2 Zverev [might well be 6-3 at end of 2019, but we don't know yet] Overall, while I agree that Kafelnikov has a substantial lead, I don't think it is insurmountable. I think Zverev could still win a Slam or two and that, if he were to do so and to continue doing as he is otherwise, it could be close. Zverev could definitely end up with around 25 titles and around 45 finals. I agree that it'd really take something for Dimitrov to rival Kafelnikov. Click to expand...

Phoenix1983 said: Appreciate the effort you've put in here - and yes, *if* Zverev becomes a multiple major winner, he could have a career that's better than Kafelnikov. However, the man has only reached 2 slam QFs and really struggles in the 5-set format. I can't see him going from barely making slam QFs to winning multiple majors. Click to expand...

helterskelter said: I don't think it's gone up. I think it is what it was: about on a par with the tour finals. Surprise results were more common until the last 14 years or so because the tour wasn't so top-heavy. It's an important event, no doubt. But I don't think it's more important than the tour finals. Click to expand...

The only reason the top players turn up for the WTF is the 1,500 points awarded and the big prize money. It could decide the YE #1. They turn up for the OG which offers no prize money and no points. That shows how much they value it.  

It's possible to win the WTF without winning all your matches.  

clayqueen said: The WTF is an exho, open only to the top 8 at YE or any random player available if one of those drop out and the alternate can't play. One year, Stepanek, as #22 ended up playing half way through the RR. Click to expand...

octogon said: I think if you asked pretty much all the top players which they valued more, WTF or Olympic Singles Gold....WTF would lose heavily. WTF is more important to Federer fans (and to Djoker fans, but they go on about it less) because it helps make their guy seem better than Nadal. But if Fed fans were honest with themselves, they'd admit the players don't actually value WTF as much as OSG Click to expand...

The WTF is a joke of a tournament. It's a glorified exho, and awarding high amounts of ranking points for it is against the spirit of sport, and only serves to give the top players an unfair advantage over the rest of the field. There are numerous reasons why the Tour Finals should not be taken too seriously as an important tournament, but the most obvious ones are: 1. The absurd format. You can win the tournament while losing 2 out of 5 matches. While this scenario is somewhat unlikely, winning while losing 1 out of 5 matches has happened before (including Zverev last year). 2. Due to very nature of the tournament, it has to be held right at the end of a physically demanding and gruelling 11-month season. Consequently, the quality of tennis is (comparitively) poor, as almost all of the players are exhausted. 3. As above, the winner is basically who is the freshest and least injured, rather than the best. 4. You get players who collected the vast majority of their points in the early half of the season qualifying for the tournament, and not being in any kind of "top 8" form by November. 5. The fact that you can't face the normal field further invalidates any possibility it has of being seriously considered as a major tournament.

Third Serve said: Big Title count is a lazy measure of greatness, in all honesty. It basically counts Slams and Masters 1000 titles the same. If you really want to go down that route, consider the Slams to be 2 points, the WTF/Olympics 1.5 points, and the Masters 1000 titles 1 point each, to keep consistent with the points awarded for winning each (which are undeniably fairer measurements than counting each tournament the same). Big Title Points Federer Nadal Djokovic Grand Slam points (x2) 20 Slams >>> 40 points 19 Slams >>> 38 points 16 Slams >>> 32 points WTF/Olympics points (x1.5) 6 WTFs >>> 9 points 1 Olympic Gold Medal >>> 1.5 points 5 WTFs >>> 7.5 points Masters 1000 points (x1) 28 Masters >>> 28 points 35 Masters >>> 35 points 33 Masters >>> 33 points Total points 77 points 74.5 points 72.5 points And no, I don't wanna hear the WTF/Olympics denigrating BS.

Third Serve said: If we do that, then I would instead change the title of the table to "Title points" instead of Big Title points. Click to expand...

Until Roger's slam count record looked impregnable, that was apparently the only yardstick for measuring GOAT status. Once that became shaky, other criteria also began to emerge. It looks like, if not Rafa, Novak will likely convert every one of these additional "criteria" to stand in his favor by the time this is all over and done.  

Sorry_to_tell_you_mate said: True, but it would also make more sense than the usual title count. Connors wouldn't be the leader, that's for sure. Click to expand...

Third Serve said: Very well, then. Here's a full table (with some other big names, but mostly the players who played nearly their full career in the era of Masters 1000s being officially established, so that excludes Connors). I don't take this one as seriously as the previous table I posted, but it does shed some light on the title race. I bumped the numbers up a digit so I won't have to deal with too many decimals. Tournament Points Federer Nadal Djokovic Sampras Agassi Murray Grand Slam points (x20) 20 Slams >> 400 points 19 Slams >> 380 points 16 Slams >> 320 points 14 Slams >> 280 points 8 Slams >> 160 points 3 Slams >> 60 points WTF/Olympics points (x15) 6 WTFs >> 90 points 1 OSG >> 15 points 5 WTFs >> 75 points 5 WTFs >> 75 points 1 WTF, 1 OSG >> 30 points 1 WTF, 2 OSG >> 45 points Masters 1000 points (x10) 28 Masters >> 280 points 35 Masters >> 350 points 33 Masters >> 330 points 11 Masters >> 110 points 17 Masters >> 170 points 14 Masters >> 140 points ATP 500 points (x5) 23 ATP 500s >> 115 points 20 ATP 500s >> 100 points 12 ATP 500s >> 60 points 12 ATP 500 equivalents >> 60 points 6 ATP 500 equivalents >> 30 points 9 ATP 500s >> 45 points ATP 250 points (x2.5) 25 ATP 250s >> 62.5 points 9 ATP 250s >> 22.5 points 9 ATP 250s >> 22.5 points 20 ATP 250 equivalents >> 50 points 27 ATP 250 equivalents >> 67.5 points 16 ATP 250s >> 40 points Total points: 947.5 total points 867.5 total points 807.5 total points 575 total points 457.5 total points 330 total points So yeah. Fed has gained that massive lead partly because of the larger degree of "small" tournaments he's won. But he's also ahead in Big Title points so you can't really put that against him.

Explained: Saudi Arabia's clever plan to dodge ATP Tour rules for 6 Kings Slam tennis tournament

Saudi Arabia’s exhibition tennis tournament will need to circumvent multiple ATP Tour laws to have big stars like Djokovic and Nadal playing in it.

Saudi Arabia is in overdrive as far as expanding its footprint on sporting world in concerned and the latest in its initiative is the “6 Kings Slam” which will see Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal participate in an exhibition event in Saudi Arabia in October. Carlos Alcaraz, new Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune will also be part of the tournament which will take place in Riyadh.

Spaniard Nadal, who signed up as an ambassador for the Saudi Arabian Tennis Federation last month, said he was looking forward to the event.

“After some other tennis players have done so, I am very excited to play for the first time in Riyadh,” the 22-times Grand Slam champion said in the press release.

Apart from the star cast, another aspect about 6 Kings Slam is that the tennis tournament is expected to follow a “two days on, one day off” pattern which will allow big stars to participate in the competition without facing the ire of ATP Tour. As per the new rules of ATP Tour, the elite tennis players will be stripped of their “Platinum Status” if they take part in unofficial tournaments lasting “three or more consecutive days”.

Saudi Arabia’s clever plan

The organisers of 6 Kings Slam (General Entertainment Authority) have decided to divide the tournament in such a away that it doesn’t run for more than two days at a time, reported The Telegraph .

There’s another loophole that 6 Kings Slam is targeting. While exhibition events in the Gulf are nothing new, they are usually played during breaks in the ATP season or after it has finished. The ATP has a full schedule in October, including mandatory Masters 1000 tournaments in Shanghai and Paris. But the start date of 14 October allows players to escape another ATP Tour rule which bans top-30 players from appearing in exhibitions in the same week as Masters 1000 or ATP 500 events.

The week of 14 October is scheduled to have only two ATP 250s which means top players can easily participate in Riyadh tournament.

What is Platinum Status?

A tennis player requires a Platinum Status to receive a share from the end-of-year bonus pool. This a methodology through which ATP Tour shares profits with the top players. For last year, the end-of-year bonus pool was almost $12.5 million.

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund signs 'multi-year strategic partnership' with ATP

The Grand Slams, ATP and WTA all want to control tennis. Do they have the power?

A grand struggle for power lies at the heart of every tennis match. Right now, it’s also at the heart of the sport itself.

Here at the Madrid Open, the moment that had all the insiders buzzing happened earlier this week, not on a dusty red court, but in the players’ lounge.

There, in plain sight — not cloistered in an office or luxury suite — the de facto leaders of the two competing visions for the future of tennis sat just a few feet from each other, making their cases to whomever they could get to listen: players and agents; tournament directors and owners.

On one side is the proposal from the Grand Slams for a streamlined elite tennis tour . On the other is the push f rom the existing ATP and WTA tours to maintain something like the status quo, only more of it, with one more big tournament and some more money, thanks to a significant investment from Saudi Arabia .

As the leaders of the biggest tournaments go back and forth with their counterparts about who controls tennis moving forward, there is an odd truth that neither side wants to talk about: what ultimately happens, and who ultimately ends up holding the power, isn’t really up to them.

In reality, the two camps are staging a kind of beauty contest, whose judges are also in two camps.

One: a handful of executives and organizations who control the biggest tournaments outside the four Grand Slams of Wimbledon and the U.S., French and Australian Opens. Two: a couple of dozen players whose participation drives the sport.

That’s why Craig Tiley, the chief executive of Tennis Australia and one of the prime movers for the Grand Slams’ effort to create an elite premium tour, arrived early in Madrid to meet with players and the managers, lawyers and agents who represent them, knowing full well how badly many of them want reform , especially when it comes to the length of their schedule.

It let him impress on them that what the leader of the ATP tour, Andrea Gaudenzi, has been pushing moves them further away from what they want — although, much of what Tiley was discussing wasn’t about the premium tour, but how an additional tournament would mess up their off-seasons and wreck his Australian season of tennis.

They are the two men sitting 30 feet apart that got people’s attention.

For his part, Gaudenzi, an Italian former tennis pro, held his board meetings, ploughing ahead with the process of adding that additional tournament — and likely the Saudi money — to the tour coffers.

Polite and decorous as it might look on the surface, tennis is a brutal sport, and so, too, is the business of running it.

Two days later, despite Tiley’s efforts, word was spreading via an Italian tennis website that the ATP had reached a deal with Saudi Arabia to hold another mandatory top-level event that will start the season in the coming years. That would threaten the viability of Australian Open tuneups in Australia and New Zealand and the United Cup, a mixed event, also in Australia, that the ATP organizes with Tiley’s Tennis Australia and the WTA. It offers $10million (£8m) in prize money, making it one of the biggest pay weeks for female players.

By late afternoon, the ATP had put out a message on X, formerly Twitter, that it had not made any decision on the tournament. Final bids for the event were due Wednesday. “We would like to clarify that these reports are inaccurate,” the ATP stated. “No decisions have been made and any updates will be communicated at the appropriate time.”

Welcome to the corridors of tennis power: a fractured hall of mirrors where nothing is quite as it seems.

More prize money, less tennis, equal pay: Grand Slams launch premium tour offensive

As in most sports, there are three forces which drive tennis: money, fame, and inertia, and they are pretty evenly divided among the players and the eight entities that run the sport.

The Grand Slams and the nine largest other tournaments which aren’t Grand Slams, known as the “Masters 1000s”, basically control the money, accounting for something like 80 per cent or more of the revenues in tennis by some estimates. It’s hard to calculate, since plenty of tournaments do not make their finances public, not even with players.

Players control most of the fame. They are the stars of the show, the boldface names who pull fans into the sport, their images plastered onto billboards in major cities all across the world throughout the year.

“Try having a tournament without players,” Stefano Vukov, coach to women’s world No 4 Elena Rybakina, said Friday afternoon. “You can’t do it. I promise you.”

At this Madrid Open, the players have been trying to go about their business while confused about what the future holds.

Once they get locked into an important event, they try to actively ignore everything that isn’t their next match. Some also need to be cautious because of the incestuous nature of the sport: their agents often work for companies that own tournaments. Some players who delve into the politics of tennis soon pull back if they sense it is distracting them from trying to win.

Tennis’ top women say the sport is broken. This is why

Iga Swiatek, the women’s world No 1, ticks all three of those boxes, since she is represented by the sports and entertainment conglomerate IMG, which owns the tournament currently ongoing in the Spanish capital and also the Miami Open, played recently in the U.S. Still, she could not hide her ongoing frustration at how the sport operates, with only a limited formal role for player input. 

“I’ve been really involved, last year, especially with all this, politics and sports a little bit, and I feel now I need to kind of focus on myself,” Swiatek said after winning her opening match Thursday night. “But I want to speak out when I feel like it’s important and it’s going to do something.”

“I just really, really hope that it’s going to change and we will have a say, or at least we’re going to be informed much, much earlier of changes.”

Ons Jabeur, the two-time Wimbledon finalist, sounded a similar note about the ongoing battle.

“For me as a player, it’s like a movie,” Jabeur said, following her opening triumph. “I’m watching them fighting it out there. But I feel like whatever is going to happen, the players need to be involved.”

The WTA, the men’s game’s ATP — and to a lesser extent the International Tennis Federation — have inertia on their side.

They license and sanction more than 100 other tournaments around the Grand Slams and also help sell some of the media and sponsorship for the tour. They set up a schedule that largely guarantees a professional tennis match is taking place somewhere nearly every day for roughly 11 months. They collect the revenue: media payments, sponsorships and other licensing agreements. Players end up with roughly a quarter of it, with the rest going to overheads and administration.

All that makes the tours seem like the sport’s alpha dogs, which is just what they want.

It might seem like that means they have the power, but the tours don’t control the players. The players are independent contractors, free to play tennis wherever they want if they can find someone to pay them — the way some of the world’s top golfers found a willing partner in Saudi Arabia .

That is especially true at the moment, because the Grand Slams have yet to renew the agreement that obligates them to organize their draws based on the ATP and WTA rankings, which the tours oversee. For now, it’s a detail because Grand Slams are still acting as though the deal is still in place. But there is an implicit threat in their refusal to sign a new agreement; a message that they could use some other rankings systems that ignore the tours, which would allow players into their tournaments whether the tours like it or not.

Still, a great tennis player does not have many alternatives for making millions of dollars from playing the sport without the platform and the competitions the tours offer.

Saudi Arabia's new $1billion proposal and the battle to control tennis

It also might seem like the tours have total control over the tournaments to which they have sold licenses, granting them the ability to operate as official events. But the only important tournaments they actually own are the season-ending tour finals.

They also have the least amount of control over the most important and lucrative tournaments on their tours, those Masters 1000 events that function as the sport’s gilded breakaway republic: Indian Wells, Miami and Cincinnati in the U.S., Monte Carlo in the south of France, Madrid, Rome in Italy, Montreal and Toronto in Canada, China’s Shanghai and Paris.

Many of these are storied events, such as Indian Wells, known as the “Fifth Slam ”, and the Italian Open. Those tournaments got together and decided to sell their media rights as a separate package, through a separate company called ATP Media. The actual ATP? It has about a 10 per cent stake in that company. In most realms, the people who control the most money hold the most power, and here and overall, tennis is no different.

This is why the battle to control the sport has become a beauty contest between rival proposals from the Grand Slams and the existing tours about how to fix tennis .

Those Masters 1000 events already have some financial separation from the existing tours, though lawyers would have their work cut out trying to undo existing contracts. And pro tennis can’t exist without the best players, who can choose where to take their power and who to bless with it.

Those are each contestant’s top attributes.

What exactly do the judges in this contest want?

Beyond the dreams of winning the biggest titles, most players who have the levels required to play an event such as the Madrid Open want two basic things from their tennis careers. They want an opportunity to make a good living and they want to be able to play in the events they grew up watching on television.

Those are mostly the Grand Slams, maybe their home country’s Masters 1000 if there is one, or the tournament that takes place closest to their hometown. Frances Tiafoe, who grew up in the U.S. state of Maryland, has said he only cares about two tournaments, the U.S. Open and the Citi Open in nearby Washington, D.C.; Swiatek doesn’t miss the WTA event in Poland’s capital Warsaw, her hometown.

In this light, the Masters 1000 tournaments want to be seen as premium events — if not on par with the Grand Slams, then as close as possible to them.

For the Grand Slams, the key to being able to create a premium tour may come down to convincing a critical mass of the Masters 1000s events to at least threaten to break with the existing tours.

Instead of being closely associated with a score of random tournaments everywhere from Antwerp in Belgium to Houston in Texas, they could be part of an elite group of events that includes Wimbledon, the most historic and important tournament in the sport. Implicit in that is the idea that tennis’ geographic reach is an albatross rather than a calling card, which many figures in all four groups — and many more fans — would dispute.

The Grand Slams will also have to convince the players, especially the stars who hold the most sway over everyone else, they are better off playing on a premium tour which the Slams say will pay them more money for doing less work.

The concept, according to the proposal from the Grand Slams, will double prize money for the top 300 men and nearly quadruple prize money for the top 300 women, who will from inception receive the same prize money as the men on the premium tour, instead of waiting until 2027 for that to happen under the ATP and WTA.

Those players won’t have to spend the year chasing rankings points and feeling like they are losing ground every time they want to take a week or two off between more important events to rest or train. And they will get a six-to-eight-week off-season as well.

Lower-ranked players have been promised more money too, and if their tour is set up properly, with regional circuits and promotion and relegation, they will have to spend less on travel and get more clarity on how they can make the step up.

How to fix tennis

Where would that leave the existing ATP and WTA? Those organizations would likely have a role in helping to govern that premium tour and making sure money from it filters down to the smaller tournaments, on that so-called “Contender Tour”, for the players vying to make the big show and top players seeking extra matches and appearance fees.

For the tours, winning the beauty contest means convincing the Masters 1000s they don’t need the Grand Slams, that they already exist as a premium tour, and that being the highest quality events on the men’s and women’s tours is better than being the poor relations of the Grand Slams, especially given the litigation they would likely face if they tried to break away.

They have also dangled a windfall of roughly a billion dollars in front of the Masters 1000s and the players, which will arrive in full when they add an additional top-level event as soon as 2026, though it’s not clear they can deliver on that figure. Advocates for players say it’s more like $500m at the moment, and once it filters through the system, there won’t be much left over for them.

It’s a contest that should go on for a while, with moves and countermoves, back and forth, surges and lead changes.

Not unlike a tennis match.

Atp madrid day 6 predictions including rafael nadal vs pedro cachin.

• April 28, 2024
• Andreas Pelekis

The second week of the ATP Madrid Open is now well underway, with eight exciting third-round matches scheduled for Monday. Among the big names features none other than Rafael Nadal; he’ll look to take out Pedro Cachin, who recently upset Frances Tiafoe on Saturday. LWOT predicts four of the third-round matches below, and four in a separate article .

ATP Madrid Day 6 Predictions

Alexander bublik vs ben shelton.

Head-to-head: 1-0 Bublik

Bublik won his opening match in Madrid in a bizarre three-setter against Roberto Carballes Beana, snapping a three-match losing streak in the process. Meanwhile, the World No. 15 Ben Shelton is steadily becoming more confident on the clay, winning his first ATP-tour level title on clay in Houston this year. Shelton also won his opening match 6-0 6-2 against Tomas Machac, suggesting that his confidence is sky-high at the moment. It’s hard to ever rule out Bublik, but Shelton’s consistency will make him the favorite in this one. Prediction: Shelton in 2

Jiri Lehecka vs Thiago Monteiro

Head-to-head:  Lehecka 2-0

This should be a fascinating encounter, with Monteiro playing four more matches than Lehecka at this tournament already as a qualifier. Monteiro played some of the best tennis of his life on Saturday, stunning Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4 6-4 in the second round. His forehand is powerful and dangerous when consistent, and he can move flawlessly on the clay. Lehecka won his opening match in straight sets, but he’s still getting used to playing on clay this year; he’s dealt with a back injury that forced him to pull out of clay court tournaments. Look for the qualifier to continue his inspiring run on Monday. Prediction: Monteiro in 3

Daniil Medvedev vs Sebastian Korda

Head-to-head:  2-2

The pair will renew their mini rivalry early in the day on Monday, with this match being their first meeting on clay courts. Medvedev won their last meeting at the 2024 BNP Paribas Open, winning 6-4 5-7 6-3. Notably, Korda can push Medvedev on hard courts, a surface that Medvedev thrives on. On clay courts, Korda may have even more of a chance to pull off the upset. Medvedev struggled in his opening Madrid match against Matteo Arnaldi, while Korda cruised past Max Purcell in straight sets on Saturday. However, Korda has struggled to bring his best against the top players this season — since last October, he’s 0-9 against Top 20 players. Korda’s clay court abilities won’t likely be enough against Medvedev in the end. Prediction: Medvedev in 2

Rafael Nadal vs Pedro Cachin

It’s every tennis player’s dream to play Rafael Nadal on clay. But for Pedro Cachin, he’ll look to pull off a big upset on Manolo Santana against the king of clay. Cachin, a clay-court specialist, snapped a 15-match losing streak earlier this tournament and then stunned World No. 21 Frances Tiafoe in three sets. Meanwhile, Nadal looked closer to his best after he took out Alex de Minaur 7-6 (6) 6-3 in the second round. It’ll be interesting to see how Nadal holds up physically in now his third tournament match, but he should be the overwhelming favorite. Cachin will have to tire out Nadal and create as many long rallies as possible on Monday. Prediction: Nadal in 2

{{tournament.sponsortitle}}, player results, djokovic extends big titles lead with record-breaking win in paris.

Novak Djokovic continued to extend his lead in the Big Titles race on Sunday when he won Roland Garros to become the first player to capture all four major trophies at least three times.

The 36-year-old defeated Casper Ruud in straight sets in the final of the clay-court major to earn his record 23rd Grand Slam title. He has now triumphed in six of the past eight majors he has competed in.

Djokovic has surged well ahead of his chief rivals, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer (who is now retired) in the race for the most Big Titles, which are Grand Slam championships, the  Nitto ATP Finals , ATP Masters 1000 tournaments and Olympic singles gold medals.

The Serbian owns or is tied for the record in titles at the majors (23, solo record), Nitto ATP Finals (6, tied with Federer) and Masters 1000s (38, solo record). He has now won 67 Big Titles compared to 59 for Nadal and 54 for Federer.

Djokovic has won one ‘Big Title’ for every 3.2 events played (67/213). The only other player who has claimed one more than once per four events played is (one per 3.5 tournaments, 59/208). Federer won one Big Title for every 4.4 events contested (54/240).

The 36-year-old is also halfway to becoming the first man to win the Grand Slam — claiming all four majors in the same season — since Rod Laver in 1969. In 2021 Djokovic won the year’s first three majors before losing in the final of the US Open .

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.
